Opening Description

So I just thought I'd add that the green text in the flash banner above actually starts the film. A half an hour isn't a lot of time to introduce a whole new world, so this paragraph paints the basic world and context in which the story takes place...

I've always liked film openings like these from Blade Runner to the Terminator to the Kingdom of Heaven! Of course that's not the only reason why we have an opening paragraph in our film :D
